Commercial Title 24 Energy Reports
Nonresidential compliance across every major occupancy type in California, quoted per project after we review your plans.
Nonresidential compliance uses a different document family from residential work. Instead of the CF1R, commercial projects use the NRCC certificates of compliance, and which ones your project needs depends entirely on the systems in scope — envelope, mechanical, lighting, or a combination.
Occupancy types we cover
- Tenant improvements
- Office and professional
- Retail and restaurant
- Medical and dental
- Warehouse and industrial
- Hospitality and schools
- Mixed-use buildings
Scope drives everything
A lighting-only tenant improvement needs the lighting compliance documentation and nothing else. A full building shell needs envelope, mechanical and lighting. Quoting a single price for both would be dishonest to one of them, which is why commercial work is quoted after we look at the plans rather than from a table.
What we review before quoting
Your plans, the occupancy type, the conditioned floor area, and which systems the project actually touches. Requesting a quote costs nothing and requires no payment details. We typically reply within 5–15 minutes during business hours; after hours, the next business morning.
Turnaround
We are among the fastest in California on nonresidential work, and we would rather give you a date we can hold than the smallest number we can print. Standard is 4–5 business days, timed from the point we have the complete scope of work — not from the enquiry. Rush is 2–3 business days. If you need it sooner than that, select “Sooner” on the quote form and tell us the date; we will say plainly whether it is achievable before you commit.
Commercial runs longer than a house for a reason worth knowing. A residence is modelled from a plan set we can read end to end. A commercial job depends on a lighting schedule with installed input wattages, a settled mechanical scope, and often a controls narrative — and those arrive from different people at different times. Once they are in front of us the work is quick; the waiting is almost always for a fitting schedule.
Included in every commercial project
California Energy Code documentation, building-department-ready reports, two revisions, direct analyst support, and statewide service. If you have a written quote from another provider, send it — we will beat it.
